enjoy the bright part :
Thank you…
Very good set!
Thank you Harrie. The dark part i will post tomorrow !
Victor, you’ve done a terrific job of capturing this event (no surprise there)…… I came away with a strong sense that I had experienced this event first hand (even though knowing it was your unique depiction of what happened.)
Thank you Derek. I was lucky this time cos everything happened very close to my working place and i just went down to the road and was able to go with them and to be in different positions ;-)) the only thing – this time 50mm lens was only in my bag.
I love the joy and jubilation in these images. Beautiful series.
Exactly Noel ! It was the wonderful joy but everything changet at night
Remarkable post and pictures Victor! Once again, you’re in the heart of the action!
I tried Sam ! Thank you for taking a look !
ALL LIVES MATTER NO MATTER WHAT COLOR OR RACE !!!
Blocking the highway to make a political point seems a bit counter-productive to me. My guess is that a lot of the people that was stuck in traffic because of this action, probably got pissed off at the demonstrators.
You’re right but when attention is zero this is the way to get it and big part of ppl supported them.
Yes, it definitely brings attention to the demonstration.
The problem with racism is also at a structural level. For example I’ve heard about a grave yard where they separate Ashkenazis and Yemenites. I can’t remember if they buried them at separate grave yards or if it was separate sections within the same grave yard. This was somewhere near Rehovot or Nes Tziona (probably Rehovot where the Yemenite community is larger).
Right. probably most of ppl love to limit theyself and to live in Ghettos
There’s a lot of Yemenites in Rehovot, but I wouldn’t say that they live in a ghetto. The neighborhoods are mixed there, but there’s one area there that the locals say is an Ethiopian ghetto. The Yemenites have lived there much longer, so I guess that they’re more integrated.
Anyway, the grave yard situation is racism at a structural level the way I see it.
What a crowd!! But serious, there is no aggressively to see and how do you say:”probably most of ppl love to limit theyself and to live in Ghettos”, so i don´t understand the background of this demonstration. Another question i have is, what is about these people. Are they refugees from ethopia? When yes, what is the reason for their getaway?
Perhaps the police is a bit extrem careful. I hope there were no injuries
Thank you for taking a look and commenting. The bright part was really happy and not aggressive from the both parts. Ethiopian jews are the same as the all other citizens with the same rights as my rights or a rights of bibi. But probably because of color of their skin there different kind of problems with police and just racists here . The reasons are historically deep and i support these ppl. The dark part (at night) was very aggressive.
